There was a dash mounted option for cupholders, here’s a thread on it:

What sends the signal to the speedo in my 1994 C1500 WT with a 4.3 and 4l60e?

Something odd is happening, while sitting in traffic in drive, the speedo will bounce up to ~45mph (sometimes twice fast) and the RPMs will surge a little bit.

Very intermittent and only seems to happen while in drive but not moving.

This isn't something I've seen before. Anyone else?

Should be an electronic speedo drive on side of the transmission. Without it plugged in on my 5 speed the engine wont rev past 1,200 rpm. It shouldn't be affecting the tach though.

That's the VSS in the tailshaft housing? Mine is leaking around the o-ring and has the area all gummed up. It was already on my list of stuff to fix.

Does it feed directly to the speedo?

I don't have a tach, and it's not a gauge surge, my actual RPMs surge a little when the speedo does it's little "flip."

A new bit of info, when I have my ALDL cable hooked up and tunerpro rt connected and it "flips", I get a connection error. Each time it happens the error count goes up 1.

Really not sure on that. I have never encountered that issue. If the drive sensor is cheap, I'd just replace it. As I was saying, unplugged, the computer would not let the engine rev past 1,200 rpm. I put the trans in mine back in after changing a pilot bushing, and a throw out bearing, and didnt plug it in as I was just testing. Truck would not rev, and when I plugged it in, everything went back to normal. Knowing that, it's worth checking it out.

Is it just me, or are the "Cargo Lamp" switches hard to find on the internet??

Where have folks been getting blower motor covers? I have tried junkyard ones before, but they always seem to get destroyed either taking them off or putting them on. At least the ancient ones I've found. My factory one is finally trying to finish itself off this week.

This is for a '93. Isn't there also a slight difference between like 88-91 and 92-94? Mine is the long one that extends further to the firewall.

I didn’t even know they still made these but my dad has this one in red matching the interior. Still looks brand new, and they got it shortly after they got the truck in like 94 or 95. I very strongly recommend it! Between this and factory dash cup holders you’ll have all you’ll ever need.


You’ll have to drop some change for one or both but it’s the simplest solution and would look the best.
